			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi<br />
I have this beautiful baby with my ex, and I am trying to learn how to move on from her. I loved this girl alot and I still do. We had our child 1 year ago on Sept 5th. While we were the host and hostess of our child's BDay party i got overwhelmed with depression on how much i really want my daughters mother back... But heres the catch, She doesnt want me. I have been hurting for over a year now for she broke up with me one month after our child was born. I have been fighting to win her heart back, and i have gained no ground. She says that we can never even be friends until i stop putting an &quot;I&quot; where it should be my daughter. She is basically saying that im very..... SELFISH. which when its my daughter i am selfish because i only get to see my daughter on friday night for about an hour &quot; due to her bed time&quot; then till about 5pm on saturday, unless its my full weekend. Please help guide me, for i am extreamly lost and i am hurting way to much and im haveing a hard time dealing with this....</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>My name is Alicia. I am new here. I am becoming a member because as my husband stated today, we are over and I will soon, be a single mother again. I had my first daughter at 19 and her dad and I divorced and a few years later and left me to be a single mom to her.  I got remarried to a man who now after almost 2 years, decided he is &quot;done&quot;. We were both in the wrong so I wont even pretend to say it was all him. [Though he is the only one deciding to give up when I begged to try therapy since we both have some issues from tough upbringings] And while there has been no cheating or anything of THAT sort, its just a rocky relationship. Im scared. To do this again. I am very depressed, distraught and lonely. I remember this feeling all to way. Id just like to know there are others like me and that I am not alone, I suppose. I still love my husband so single parenting isnt the only issue at hand. I have a broken heart as well. He is still living here but Im realizing that may not be best. How do I explain to my daughter who IS his child and his step daughter who is my first child from another marriage? So many things. I have a lot going on in my life right now and I am becoming more and more lost.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I recently rented a home and feel in love with it. It didnt have a few things i wanted in the house but oh well. i just wanted to find a stable place for my son to grow up in until i was able to buy a house for us. Well I was kind of skeptical when it came to signing the lease, something was telling dont sign it but at the time the ongoing flooded apartment i was living in lease was about to be up so i felt like i didnt have a choice. <br />
<br />
Well fastforwarding to last week, there are these bugs in my house called camelback crickets. i have seen them before and was able to control them for a while but now these things are huge. My father and sister was reading up on these things and found out they are not good to have in the house, once you see one then prepare yourself for lots more. I contacted the landlord but he wasnt available so i left the message with the wife. she stated she will call me back after she finish with another potential tenant. She never called back. I called back hours later and no answer. I literally had to have my sister to call from another phone in order for him to pick up. So she was able to speak to him she was telling him what the issue was and he stated that he dont believe exterminators does not come out to spray for crickets. she told this man that these are not really crickets thats just the name of them. he told her he would call her back. This was Wednesday of last week. He never called back. So i decided to fax and send a letter to him stating the problem, stating that i have a small child who crawls in the fool and is scared that he may come in contact with these things and requesting this issue to be fixed ASAP. <br />
<br />
Now today he calls in response to my faxed letter. he says to me well i will get someone to come out and spray but crickets are not a big deal. i told this man these are not crickets they are these bugs that look crickets mixed with a spider. they were here before i moved in and they are getting worse. he said well they are not bugs that lay eggs and stay in the house so its really not an issue. According the exterminator inspector yesterday he stated that these things lay eggs in the ground and stay dormant up to a year and they become unseen because of this. Treatment of the outside, inside and under the house is a must. The landlord tells me well hunny you cant believe everything you hear. but i will get someone to come out and spray. can you have someone at the house around 10. now my mother is at my house waiting and here it is 10:50am. she called the landlord and no answer. so now he has pissed me off even more. I want to terminate my lease but i have to go through lots of boxes to see the clause and terms of termination. <br />
<br />
I am becoming so frustated and depressed. My landlord seems like an ass who only cares about himself. I have not been home in 7 days because i dont want my son to come in contact with these things. I dont have any money to pay for an exterminator of my own because they cost around $300. I just dont know what to do or think anymore. :(</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Every time I think my family is finally going to do better something happens to end my moment of happiness in a second. I entered an article of agreement for the home we moved into in November and thought we were finally going to have the American dream, they would have a yard to play in and they would be able to get a dog that they have been asking for for years. Well seems the owner was not paying taxes and now the house is in foreclosure and I'm stuck trying to figure out where we are going to move again! Then to top off everything the engine in my car just blew yesterday so now I have to walk to work 3 miles each way. I don't have the money or the credit to get a new used car so I have no choice. They say God only gives you as much as you can handle, I just wish he didnt trust me so much because I sure can't handle too much more.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>That is what I have been feeling for weeks now. :(  Crying everyday over ridiculous stuff. My daughter left for camp today and will not be back until Friday. I was happy for her to go and now all I do is worry about her. I was suppose to be traveling to SC this week but it got postponed. I asked my boss if I could work it and she said no I had to take it. So here I sit, wallowing in feeling numb (no emotion) except when I cry. I have nothing to do, no one to do it with and don't want to spend since I need to save it for new job. <br />
<br />
You would think I would be excited about the job but in fact I am terrified. My current boss drives me to drink or I would stay where I am, although I don't think there is much room for growth.<br />
<br />
I was actually so bored I just scrubbed my kitchen floor on my hands and knees!<br />
<br />
Sorry if I seems as though I am beating a dead horse about this subject but nobody around here I feel I can talk to who &quot;gets&quot; it.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for listening. That is really what I need.</div>

today I found out that I'm unemployeed. thanks to the OIG.<br />
management here wanted to keep me and had been telling me not to worry, that I was still be here. The union said that they are working to help me keep my job also, just that it seams to be taking so long for them to do anything.<br />
what makes me mad about the union is that they were given a settlement offer over two days ago, yet I was never told about it. WTF anrt they suppose to be helping with me?<br />
<br />
so now Me, no job, losing house, no kids. starting to think why keep trying. what good will hanging on do? for what?<br />
<br />
and to think I was in a black mood before all this. it's just got darker.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am feeling very depressed at this moment. I'm trying hard not to cry. All these feelings I'm keeping inside is killing me. Sometimes I feel soo guilty... my son doesn't have a father.  Was I being selfish in keeping him knowing that he won't have a father. I know he was born for a reason. He just has a purpose in life. I mean I took the morning after pill and that didn't work. He was born at 26 weeks, had heart surgery at 2 weeks. and now he is a healthy 10 month old baby. <br />
I'm also frustrated at the fact that I'm being a single parent. Sacraficing everything... not going out with friends. Not spending any money on me. He has been my number one priorty. And this low life does everything. Living a lie.... having a girlfriend.... I feel soo stupid he has been with her for ten years and I never knew. Sometimes I feel like contacting her and letting her know that he has son and has been ignoring him. But I know that will only cause more drama.</div>
